New research demonstrates that the perception of food via the olfactory senses can alter energy homeostasis in mice. Andrew Dillin, Jens Brüning (co-corresponding authors) and colleagues found that ...
A brain with a normal olfactory bulb on the left and a brain lacking the bulb on the right. Weizmann Institute of Science The way we perceive the world around us is super complex, but researchers seem ...
To enjoy the scent of morning coffee and freshly baked cookies or to perceive the warning smell of something burning, the brain needs two types of cells, neurons and astrocytes, to work closely with ...
Using a similar unilateral discrimination protocol across three experiments with human adults (n = 96; 1,295 sessions), we now reveal distinct patterns of specificity, generalization, and persistence ...
Viruses can inflame and disrupt connections between the olfactory system, which governs the sense of smell, and the part of the brain associated with memory and learning, possibly accelerating the ...
In a recent review article published in Frontiers in Molecular Science, researchers discussed the links between genetic, physical, and neurological conditions and olfactory loss and inflammation. They ...
